Abstract: Quantum-inspired Multi-modal Gaze Estimation System and Method Thereof A gaze estimation system includes a multi-modal input acquisition module configured to receive a face image, a left eye crop, a right eye crop, and a head pose rotation matrix. A feature extraction module extracts features from the face image, the left eye crop, and the right eye crop. A quantum-inspired multi-modal fusion module projects the extracted features into quantum-inspired states, computes a plurality of attention heads where each attention head produces an initial attention output, and applies a learnable entanglement matrix to couple information flow across the plurality of attention heads. An entangled attention output for each attention head is computed as a weighted sum of initial attention outputs from all attention heads, where weights are determined by learned entanglement coefficients. A collapsed representation is produced based on the entangled attention outputs. A prediction module predicts a gaze direction based on the collapsed representation.
